Al Gore All but Endorses Romney

We are truly in the bizarro world when a Republican endorsed by Al Gore is the frontrunner in a presidential race but that is the situation we now find ourselves in. While in New Hampshire last week, the former Massachusetts Governor (RINO) openly said he believes in man-made global warming. He must have missed Climategate. This truly should be Mitt Romney's Michael-Dukakis-in-a-tank moment but we must emphasize the word "should."

Here is part of what Al Gore said via the Hill in response to Romney's irresponsible words on global warming:
“The putative Republican presidential front-runner, eager to prove his conservative bona fides, could easily have said what he knew many in his party's base wanted to hear.”

“Instead, the former Massachusetts governor stuck to the position he has held for many years -- that he believes the world is getting warmer and that humans are contributing to it.”
At best, Romney decided he could gain more eco-wacko votes than lose conservative votes. It should be a bad miscalculation. Then again, the longer he stays in the lead, the more disturbing the reality. At worst, he's setting the stage for a third party, which becomes much more likely if the Republican Party nominates an establishment politician who sides with Al Gore on climate change.

Here is the moment that Gore capitalized on.
